Possible Causes

Recent power outage, Unstable household voltage, Loose power cord connection, Faulty surge protector or extension cord

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure hands are dry when handling power cords or outlets.

Steps:

  • Acknowledge alarm: Press the alarm or OK button to silence the beeping.
  • Check power source: Make sure the plug is fully inserted into a properly grounded wall outlet. Avoid using extension cords or power strips.
  • Inspect cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks in the power cord. If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified technician.
  • Monitor voltage: If lights in your home flicker or other appliances behave erratically, have an electrician check for voltage issues.
  • Reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug back in. If E16 returns frequently without actual outages, the control board may be misreading power events.
